This young African Zimbabwean artist/producer is exploding onto the scene with tremendous force. Officially beginning his rap career in 1999, many close to KYD say that he was born a natural artist. At an early age, he was exposed to an eclectic mix of music,reggae,pop,traditional zimbabwean acts from the 70z listening to  Jay Z, Biggie, and many others far and wide. Combining this broad range of influences, KYD is constantly evolving as an artist and changing the musical landscape in ways that few have done before. From the same stomping grounds as greats like Kanye West and Common, and of the same generation as up and comers like Kid Cudi and Rookie fresh, this young artist knows he has a lot to prove to the music world and there is no doubt that he has the talent to do so. Speaking of his motivations as an artist, KYD notes that he not only wants to share his music with the world, but also wants to “encourage people to [to be] comfortable & to be proud with the way they are”
